Hello, I need advice. I am 30 years old and am engaged to be married this year. While in any relationship, you have your ups and downs, I came across something recently that I don't think I can handle without guidance. My fiancee' and I have always had great communication with each other, and have always been in love and the best of friends. A few days ago, I was cleaning out our closet and found a credit card bill from January (his card). On the bill I saw something called TBE phone services, and out of curiosity, called there to find out what it was. To my horror, I discovered it was a phone sex service. My heart broke and I confronted him with this and he confessed to making calls to this service in January. It would be so hard to explain how our relationship has always been about trust, and this is just heartbreaking. We've been so happy, and happy planning our wedding. It hurts me so bad that he could look me in the eye after doing this. This past weekend was so very horrible, and he is devastated at what he's done. I tried to forgive, and talk to him about the reason why and he just said that on a whim he just wanted to try something exciting. I unfortunately consider this a form of cheating. We've always had a great sex life, and I understand that men sometimes crave something mysterious or exciting, but I can't seem to get this out of my head because everything has always been so wonderful with us. I guess I'm asking advice for myself, how can I get over this and be confident and trusting again, because I have lost both. Am I overreacting? He says he's very happy with me and our life and what he's done has nothing to do with being unhappy, but my feeling is that if you truly love someone and respect them, you don't feel the need to do this. He didn't plan on being caught I guess. I don't know how to begin healing myself, and how I can learn to trust again. He also is ashamed and devastated but I'm not ready to forgive; every time I look at him, I see what he did.
If anyone has any advice, please help. Thank you kindly for your time.
